A few years ago, I had the worst string of bad luck. My car was about to go down in flames so I bought a new one. These are just the car related mishaps. I bought a brand new car in October. In December someone ran a red light and hit me. Low speeds so just vehicle damage. A week after I got it back, a tire popped due to something on the road. THE NEXT DAY, a second tire popped for the same reason. Two weeks later, a third tire popped. This time they didn’t have any in, so I had to wait without a car till it came in.

The guy came out to tell me, having been there through everything that happened, and the look on his face when I just started laughing was priceless. Remember this isn’t all that happened during that time. It actually broke me that day, but in a good way. I don’t really get angry or upset much anymore. But it actually scares me when my response to something bad is to laugh because of all that.

We had another string of bad things happening that ended last month. So much stuff broke at once. Second time I started laughing in reaction to bad news. Good times.
